Man And His Wife Arrested In Separate Incidents After Filming The Killing Of Eric Garner By New York Police Officer (Video)

Something Strange Is Going On

Ramsey Orta, 22, filmed the killing of unarmed
asthmatic, Eric Garner, at the hands of New York police officer,
Daniel Pantaleo. Garner was killed by an illegal chokehold Pantaleo
administered. Orta has since been arrested on weapons possession
charges, regarding a gun he states he does not own and was not in
his possession. Orta also states police have been showing up at his
wife's place of employment, as a form of harassment.

Ramsey Orta

His wife, Chrissie Orta, stated he is being targeted
over the mobile phone video he filmed and uploaded to You Tube
showing Garner's death that was a direct result of police brutality
and excessive force. The video has since been viewed 900,000 times
on the You Tube page Orta placed it on and several million more
times on other pages that have reposted the video. The video then
hit mainstream news channels all over America, creating an even
larger scandal.

Chrissie Orta

In a strange twist, Chrissie Orta was recently
arrested by the same police force for allegedly attacking someone
outside a store on Bay Street in Staten Island, New York. In her
interview with PIX11 in New York, Orta spoke about her ordeal. She
stated police began driving by their place and shining squad car
lights in their window disturbing them at late hours as a form of
harassment over the video exposing Garner's death at their hands.
Orta also questions why police, who are trained in first aid, did
not resuscitate Garner and left handcuffs on him, even as paramedics
arrived on the scene and loaded him into an ambulance. Garner's
pleas were ignored and he was allowed to die.
